Synopsis: Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] [Blu-ray] (2008) Nathan Fillion

Product Description

As The 2005 Theatrical Release Of Serenity Made Clear, Firely Was A Science Fiction Concept That Deserved A Second Chance. Devoted Fans (Or "Browncoats") Knew It All Along, And With This Well-Packaged Dvd Set, Those Who Missed The Show'S Original Broadcasts Can See What They Missed. Creator Joss Whedon'S Ambitious Science-Fiction Western (Whedon'S Third Series After Buffy The Vampire Slayer And Angel) Was Canceled After Only 11 Of These 14 Episodes Had Aired On The Fox Network, But History Has Proven That Its Demise Was Woefully Premature. Whedon'S Generic Hybrid Got Off To A Shaky Start When Network Executives Demanded An Action-Packed One-Hour Premiere ("The Train Job"); In Hindsight The Intended Two-Hour Pilot (Also Titled "Serenity," And Oddly Enough, The Final Episode Aired) Provides A Better Introduction To The Show'S Concept And Splendid Ensemble Cast. Obsessive Fans Can Debate The Quirky Logic Of Combining Spaceships With Direct Parallels To Frontier America (It'S 500 Years In The Future, And Embattled Humankind Has Expanded Into The Galaxy, Where Undeveloped "Outer Rim" Planets Struggle With The Equivalent Of Old West Accommodations), But Whedon And His Gifted Co-Writers And Directors Make It Work, At Least Well Enough To Fashion A Credible Context From The Incongruous Culture-Clashing Of Past, Present, And Future Technologies, Along With A Polyglot Language (The Result Of Two Dominant Superpowers) That Combines English With An Abundance Of Chinese Slang. What Makes It Work Is Whedon'S Delightfully Well-Chosen Cast And Their Nine Well-Developed Characters--A Typically Whedon-Esque Extended Family--Each Providing A Unique Perspective On Their Adventures Aboard Serenity, The Junky But Beloved "Firefly-Class" Starship They Call Home. As A Veteran Of The Disadvantaged Independent Faction'S War Against The All-Powerful Planetary Alliance (Think Of It As Underdogs Vs.

667 of 686 people found the following review helpful 9 faces looking into the black, seeing 9 different things, July 23, 2003 By  Blair A. Petterson - See all my reviews This review is from: Firefly - The Complete Series (DVD) I despise television. I even gave it up last year, and now only see a few shows a friend and I watch together. "The West Wing". "24". "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Until last fall. Then I saw "Firefly", named somewhat whimsically about a cargo ship whose end lights up when it accelerates. But this is no flashy futuristic show about technical wonders, but rather a very nitty-gritty character study of nine very individual people. Joss Whedon, who created "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel", had an idea for a science fiction show unique to that "Southern California born/spent time in Britain as a teenager" background of his: He read a book about the ground level grunts of the American Civil War called "The Rebel Angels" and wanted to do a TV series about the people who didn't make the history books: the people history stepped on. He wanted to do a story set in a future about a ship and where it went. Not a vast engine of war or a great vessel of exploration and...

But Star Trek was a sterile proto-socialist fantasy, without a comprehensible culture beyond starfleet itself. I like Star Wars better, but despite the detailed world building it remained a fairly predictable space opera. Firefly (and the Serenity movie) are the best damn science fiction I have ever watched on a screen. I can't believe that there is no more of this to watch. I will not believe it. I am going to think really, really desperate and evil thoughts until someone gives me another fix. OK, so I hate reviews that just say something was good and the network is evil for having cancelled it, no matter how true that is. A person reads a review not to determine whether someone they have never heard of likes something, but, hopefully, whether they might like it. So here is my pathetic attempt to describe greatness. Why I loved Firefly 1. Detailed world building. I can easily see how the worlds of humankind shown...

This review is from: Firefly - The Complete Series (DVD) Firefly was a show that came on the heels of Fox's usual brilliant decision-making--right after it cancelled my beloved Dark Angel. I first thought this show would be awful, but I sat down and watched it--and it was love. Truly. It's rare to find a show that can be taken seriously that also made me laugh out loud in every episode. The writing was extraordinary, and the actors/actresses were absolute gold. It was really like watching a movie each time around. Yet again, Fox shot itself in the foot and iced another good show. Nonetheless, at least the DVD is soon to come. At least they had the decency to do that. Come on, sing it with me: "Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. But I don't care--I'm still free. You can't take the skies from me..."
